"You said... a planet?"

Even Yan Luo couldn't react for a moment.

He had prepared himself mentally for this, after all, he had speculated about the size of the Forbidden Demon Abyss.

But Yan Luo completely hadn't realized that he guessed right, that the Forbidden Demon Abyss was really planet-sized.

"Just a speculation." The commander sighed, mumbling under his breath, "But it doesn't make much difference in reality..."

After complaining, the commander explained to Yan Luo why he knew about this.

"After the first reconnaissance aircraft returned, we discovered that the Forbidden Demon Abyss was much larger than we had imagined. Subsequently, we dispatched two more reconnaissance aircraft, one of which might have crashed and hasn't returned yet, but the other brought back important intelligence—flying in the opposite direction from where you discovered the coastline, about eight hundred kilometers away, we found another coastline. The second batch of reconnaissance aircraft that set out and returned continued flying forward for about two thousand kilometers and discovered another piece of land but didn't find the abyss boundary."

The commander's words made Yan Luo fall into deep thought.

This Abyss is different from other abysses, not only in the type of demons, their superpowers, but even in its size, which is much larger than other abysses.

Why is this happening?

Yan Luo doesn't know, and those experts specifically studying the Abyss don't know either.

The Forbidden Demon Abyss is too strange, going far beyond the experts' understanding, completely defying the 'rules' of the Abyss.

However, the Abyss inherently has no real rules, the known rules are merely conclusions drawn from statistical data, and can't explain the Abyss directly.

'Not following the rules' is also a kind of rule.

But in any case, the Forbidden Demon Abyss is still too large; currently explored, it is the largest abyss encountered since the lost decade, and there's even more land in the distance that hasn't been explored yet.

It's too big!

This abyss is just too big!

The smaller the size of the Abyss, the higher the probability they have of finding the Master of the Abyss. But the Forbidden Demon Abyss could be planet-sized; with an abyss this massive, it might even have some underground cavities, and finding the Master of the Abyss in such a vast realm is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Speaking of this, the commander couldn't help but feel a headache.

If the entrance to the Forbidden Demon Abyss weren't in the Lingquan City area, they might just ignore it.

The problem is, the entrance to this abyss is within Lingquan City, and they can't ignore it.

Moreover, they not only have to manage it but also eradicate this abyss as quickly as possible.

Prevent this abyss from affecting Lingquan City, prevent the demons of this abyss from harming the citizens.

If this abyss continues to exist within Lingquan City, not only will several nearby blocks remain locked down, but citizens will also become disappointed with the Lingquan City Government, possibly moving to live in other cities.

Even in today's age, moving between cities is a troublesome matter, not to mention finding a new home, finding a new job is even more difficult.

But no one wants to live in a city with an abyss entrance. They are not residents of Crimson No. 2, already accustomed to the existence of an abyss entrance.

Just thinking about an abyss entrance being nearby, with the possibility of demons running out at any time, makes people feel uneasy.

To say nothing else, even the commander doesn't want his family living in such a city.

Thus, the Forbidden Demon Abyss must be eradicated, and quickly!

"Let's seek help from other cities and exploration towns." Yan Luo said to the commander, "As long as the Forbidden Demon Abyss can be eradicated quickly, no matter how much blood it takes, I'm willing."

Anyway, for him, replenishing blood is very simple, he just keeps eating demons, and he can continuously replenish biomass.

The current body's digestive function is very strong, and recovery ability is even more frightening; Yan Luo can even bleed himself while replenishing blood. If he wishes, he can fill a swimming pool with his blood in a matter of days.

The commander listened to Yan Luo's words and fell silent.

That was exactly his intention, to seek the help of other Hunters.

Each exploration town inevitably has a portion of Hunters that won't leave, as the corresponding Abyss needs them to clear out demons, controlling the number and power of each abyss's demons.

He wanted Yan Luo to wake up and ask for his help in bleeding.

Engravers can only acquire the ability to combat the Demon of the Forbidden Abyss after receiving the Saint's Blood. Otherwise, they are no different from ordinary people in front of the demons of this abyss, at most possessing more refined combat skills than regular soldiers.

"Lingquan City will offer compensation." The commander could only state this dryly.

Yan Luo had no response to this.

In his view, as long as they can help him eradicate the abyss, he'd do it even if he had to pay.

If Yan Luo were still the lone figure he used to be, he would definitely refuse Lingquan City's compensation and let them use that money to hire more Hunters.

But it was different now; Yan Luo had his own team, and he needed to consider the team.

He was going to bleed a lot, and since his blood was so precious, he was sure to receive a lot of compensation.

Once he received the compensation, his team could sustain themselves comfortably for a while.

Having obtained Yan Luo's commitment, the commander immediately contacted the Lingquan City Government, so the government could reach out to other cities' military and Hunters, especially the Hunters.

The military couldn't do much in dealing with demons or exploring the abyss. At best, they could help defend the Forbidden Demon Abyss and establish supply stations further away so that the Lingquan City's stationed troops could extend the Hunters' operation range.

They needed to use one supply station after another to allow the Hunters' footsteps to cover the entire Forbidden Demon Abyss, so they could better find the Master of the Abyss's whereabouts.

The Forbidden Demon Abyss especially needed Hunters now, and the commander was already preparing a Hunter training plan, aiming to cultivate a batch of new Hunters.

This batch of new Hunters wouldn't need to do much; as long as they could focus on fortresses and supply stations and ensure the surrounding area's safety, allowing the Advanced Hunters to venture further, it would suffice.

Yan Luo left the commander's busy office and headed to the cafeteria.

Upon arrival, he noticed the clear distinction between the Hunters and the soldiers.

The soldiers were generally quiet while eating, and they wouldn't drink alcohol, but the Hunters were different. They drank, made noise, and even fought.

As soon as Yan Luo reached the cafeteria, he saw a Hunter grabbing a tray and throwing it at another Hunter while cursing loudly.

The attacked Hunter naturally wouldn't let it go. He stood up swiftly, clenched his fists, and charged.

The two Hunters got into a brawl, drawing the attention of many.

Having lived with the Hunters for some time, the soldiers sitting nearby were already accustomed to their noise and chaos. As long as it didn't bother them, they wouldn't interfere.

This was also a means of communication between Hunters, even if the argument had no basis; as long as one fought and won, the winner was right.

Many Hunters watched with interest, and even the cafeteria chef couldn't help but peek out for a look.

Yan Luo picked up the largest tray and walked towards the cafeteria window.

He quietly took his food, quietly sat at a table, and quietly ate.

Just as Yan Luo was nearly done with the food on one tray, the two evenly matched Hunters finally had a result.

The outcome was a draw; neither gained anything.

Unable to determine a winner, the two swollen-faced Hunters grumbled as they got up from the floor. As if nothing had happened, they returned to their seats to eat, paying no mind even as their behavior elicited laughs from those around them.

Unable to determine a winner was a fact already, even if they fought again, the result would be the same. Unless they got increasingly angry, Hunters generally don't fight again once they're separated.

So, a lively episode concluded, and everyone's attention returned to their business.

At this moment, the Hunter sitting next to Yan Luo finally noticed him.

"Hey, isn't this Yan Luo?"

A Hunter from Crimson No. 3 raised his hand, patting Yan Luo's arm. "Thanks for your blood, I have three engravings now!"

With the help of the Saint's Blood, many low-level Hunters had made progress.

In time, they might even become Advanced Hunters of Sequence Three!
